Q: <strong>Can Lemon Bundt Cake be Frozen?</strong>

Yes, just as with our chocolate bundt cake , strawberry bundt cake or blueberry bundt cake , you can easily freeze this lemon bundt cake. When baking in advance, allow the cake to cool a bit before wrapping in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. (We often wrap the cake while still slightly warm.)Then, place in the freezer. I find it easiest to place the bundt cake on a foil wrapped cardboard cake circle , then wrap. If you will only be freezing the cake for a couple of days, the foil is not necessary as long as you have double wrapped the cake tightly in plastic wrap. To thaw, place the cake in the refrigerator overnight , still wrapped. Then, remove the next morning and place on the kitchen counter. Remove the plastic wrap as condensation collects, and continue to bring to room temperature.

Question 2

How Long Can this cake be Frozen?

Accepted Answer

When properly wrapped, frozen cakes (and cake slices) will stay fresh for three months!

Question 3

Why is Lemon Extract Necessary?

Accepted Answer

People often ask why we need to rely on lemon extracts for additional flavor. It is because the flavor of fresh lemon juice (as well as other types of fruit juices) bakes out almost entirely.

Question 4

Why is Lemon Zest Used?

Accepted Answer

Lemon zest, which refers to the outermost part of the peel (above the white rind) contains the most flavor, thanks to its natural oils. It is fragrant, flavorful, and the flavor does not bake out in the recipes in the way that lemon juice does.

While a fine grater can be used to effectively zest a lemon, we find that using a microplane is the most helpful (and fastest) method.

Question 5

Is this a Lemon Pound Cake?

Accepted Answer

Although this lemon bundt cake has a very fine crumb, we don't consider it to be a pound cake as it is not quite as dense.

Our pound cakes most often have 3 cups of flour, 3 cups of sugar, 3 sticks of butter, etc. (as in our Lemon Pound Cake Recipe). Today's bundt cake contains less butter and sugar, but is still very moist and flavorful!

Question 6

Why do you use Cake Flour?

Accepted Answer

Many of our cake recipes call for cake flour. This is because it has a lower protein content which results in less gluten formation. The result is a softer, more tender cake.

Just a few our our favorite cake recipes that call for cake flour are our almond cake, marble cake, orange cake, and more!
